Workshops
Join us on our Homestead in Terrebonne, Oregon to spend an immersive weekend working with your dog!
You’ll learn how to communicate more clearly, work through real-life scenarios, and build the kind of relationship you and your dog need in order to thrive together.
What These Workshops Are
These workshops are designed for owners who want real to work closely with their dog to make real progress.
Over the course of three focused days, you’ll work directly with your dog on the things that actually matter: communication, handling, follow-through, and building reliability in the real world. Whether you’re dealing with reactivity, working toward off-leash freedom, or just trying to feel more confident with your dog outside the house, these workshops are built to give you practical tools you can use every day.
These are hands-on, small-group training workshops designed to help you understand your dog better, clean up your handling, and leave with a clear plan for what to do next.
What’s Included
When you join a workshop, you’re not just paying for three days on the calendar. You’re getting focused, hands-on guidance and a much clearer understanding of what your dog needs from you.
Each workshop includes:
Three full days of training from 9:00am–3:00pm (Lunch included)
Direct coaching for working teams
Real-time feedback on timing, handling, rewards, pressure, and follow-through
Controlled setups to work through your specific training goals
Group discussion and Q&A throughout the weekend
A clearer understanding of your dog’s behavior and how to work with it
A plan for what to continue practicing after the workshop
Working spots are for owners bringing a dog to train. Audit spots are for those who want to learn without bringing a dog into the working environment.

Before You Attend:
To get the most out of the workshop, we strongly recommend building some basic skills with your dog. Having clear communication and leash skills and/or e-collar basics will help you progress further over the course of the weekend!
If you need help building these skills, you can join our online membership ahead of time. Get virtual feedback and watch step-by-step tutorials to get an idea of how we will be training!
-
Please come prepared with:
A slip lead
And/or a Prong Collar (Herm Sprenger Brand, 2.25mm or 3.0)
E-collar (Micro or Mini Educator by E-collar Technologies)
-
Your dog should understand a reward marker like “Yes” before the workshop
You say “Yes!'“ When they do something right
A reward immediately follows
-
Your dog should have some familiarity with following or yielding to leash pressure. It does not need to be perfect, but the concept should not be brand new.
